Just started taking Letrozole. Could the tablets be causing the issues I'm having with my vagina? Very annoying

I have been put on Letrozole on it for a few months after Radiotherapy. I feel okay apart from an itch and an odd sensation in my vagina, doc has given me cream and pressaries but doesn't see to help. Could it be the tablets that cause this or is it cystitis. Very annoying.

Jist wanted to check if anyone else is experienced this. 

Thanks
